Adrian Jones and his Big Bag of Ukes

3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. • Saturday, August 18 and Sunday, August 19 • Long and McQuade Pavilion

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist sideman, teacher and performer. Adrian has released 3 albums and a live DVD with global rock jam band snack! (who are Riverfest alum), taught 1200 students at his two music schools and performed alongside a diverse collection of musicians including members of Broken Social Scene, Rheostatics, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, Buck 65 and many more. His music is just as diverse, blending world beat elements and a classical sensitivity to his songs.

This year at Riverfest, he will bring along his big bag of ukes for everyone to learn a few chords & play a few tunes!

A selection of songs will be played throughout the workshop. He will make sure that the songs are very easy so that all ages and levels can play them (even those that have never played before). He will also come armed with more challenging parts for each song in case there are experienced ukulele players. Let's jam!
